       2. A box as set forth in claim 1 wherein the lid front wall includes a connecting bar latch mounted to the lid front wall within the lid cavity, and the connecting bar latch receiving the connecting bar in a first position, with the connecting bar positioned within the lid cavity, and permitting release of the connecting bar when the connecting bar is pivoted exteriorly of the lid cavity. 
     
     
       3. A box as set forth in claim 2 wherein each support link includes a resilient quaver support plate, and each quaver support plate includes a first side and a second side on opposed sides of the quaver support plate, wherein the first side and the second side include respective first side and second side semicylindrical recesses directed into the support plate through the respective first side and second side, and the first side recesses include first side wall slots communicating each first side wall recess with the first side, and each of the second side wall recesses include a second side wall slot communicating the second side wall recesses with the second side of the support plate, wherein first side wall recesses define a first row and the second side wall recesses define a second row, and the first row is arranged parallel to the second row, and the support plate of the first and second support assemblies are arranged to received arrow shafts therebetween. 
     
     
       4. A box as set forth in claim 3 wherein the tray floor central rib includes a rib top wall, the rib top wall includes a first cavity positioned on a first side of the rib handle, and the first cavity includes a fluid reservoir slidably mounted within the first cavity, wherein the fluid reservoir includes a fluid reservoir bellows mounted to an upper end of the fluid reservoir, and the reservoir bellows includes a bellows cap mounted to an upper end of the bellows, and the bellows cap includes a plurality of cap apertures directed through the bellows cap, whereupon compressing of the bellows against the fluid reservoir permits projection of fluid contained within the fluid reservoir through the cap apertures. 
     
     
       5. A box as set forth in claim 4 wherein the rib top wall includes a row of rib top wall arrow head cavities directed into the rib top wall on a second side of the rib handle, and each arrow head cavity of said arrow head cavities is arranged to receive an individual arrow head therewithin.
